Perhaps you should have noticed that the errors in php.ini-recommended
are logged so whatever the error level is shouldn't matter.
And I don't think this file is read-only everywhere? :)

Thanks for spotting that. Not sure how it got in there.
I removed E_STRICT from the default error_reporting in php.ini-recommended.

Hello everyone,
It seems that E_STRICT is on by default in php.ini-recommended as of 5.1
I think the real issue here is nothing to do with E_STRICT being too strict,
it does what it says, and as Andi has already said, it's there as a means of
best practice checking for pedantic developers.
The problem is that far too many people look at the distribution, see
"php.ini-recommended" and think that they should be using it, this isn't to
say that they shouldn't, but they should at least be aware that -recommended
means that everything is set up to be as tight as possible.
I propose changing php.ini-recommended's error reporting level to simply
E_ALL. Those developers who require E_STRICT know how to turn it on and will
do so.
I agree with Sara that E_STRICT could probably do with expanding, having it
simply checking for depreceated stuff is all well and good, but it's name
implies that it will alert the developer to anything not considered
strictly correct coding practice.
Since this thread spawned off the one about adding public to PHP4.4, it's
probably not worth it, not due to backwards compatability (try running code
written for 4.3.x under 4.0.0...), but mostly because it'd effectively be
creating an intermediary branch between PHP 4 and PHP 5 that would be
neither one nor the other. It's probably just best to allow people to make
the move to PHP 5 over a longer period of time. Besides, as Andrey said, you
can just insert the keywords and have them commented out until the entire
app is ported.
Sorry for the rather lengthy post, I've been watching these discussions with
great interest over the last few days and have only now had the chance to
post my thoughts.
